背景:在COVID-19大流行期间,人们认为医护人员最容易受到肌肉骨骼疾病的影响。然而,文献中对COVID-19大流行期间医护人员肌肉骨骼疾病的研究有限。
目的:这项研究的目的是检查COVID-19大流行期间在Dicle大学医学院和研究医院工作的医护人员的肌肉骨骼问题和心理障碍,并提出康复解决方案。
方法:使用康奈尔肌肉骨骼疾病问卷(CMDQ)评估过去一周的肌肉骨骼问题。此外,贝克抑郁量表(BDI)用于评估参与者的心理状态。关于人口特征的问题,习惯,肌肉骨骼系统(MSS)疾病的存在和定位,疼痛的严重程度和持续时间,慢性疾病,创伤史和工作条件纳入研究人员准备的调查问卷.
结果:该研究包括74名护士,42位居民,26名专家,24名技术人员,16位牙医,12名物理治疗师,和其他26名专职医疗人员。牙医的CMDQ总分最高(160.73),而住院医师的CMDQ总分最低(98.33)。低背,颈部和背部疼痛是最常见的MSS问题。BDI在护士中最高,70.27%的护士是女性。工作场所工效学总分为25.91%,护士视觉模拟量表(VAS)最高(6.72)。
结论:虽然MSS疼痛集中在腰部,所有医护人员的颈部和背部区域。我们得出的结论是,与大流行相关的不确定性,疫苗接种和药物等预防措施的延迟,这种疾病的快速和强烈传播以及死亡人数的增加导致了压力的增加,医护人员的抑郁和倦怠。
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is thought that healthcare workers are most exposed to musculoskeletal disorders. However, there are limited studies in the literature examining the musculoskeletal disorders among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine musculoskeletal problems and psychological disorders in healthcare personnel working at Dicle University Faculty of Medicine and Research Hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic and to come up with solutions for rehabilitation.
METHODS: The Cornell Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire (CMDQ) was used to assess musculoskeletal problems in the past week. Additionally, Beck depression inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate the psychological state of the participants. Questions on demographic characteristics, habits, the presence and localisation of musculoskeletal system (MSS) diseases, severity and duration of pain, chronic diseases, trauma history and working conditions were included in the questionnaire prepared by the researchers.
RESULTS: The study included 74 nurses, 42 residents, 26 specialists, 24 technicians, 16 dentists, 12 physiotherapists, and 26 other allied health personnel. Dentists had the highest total CMDQ score (160.73) whereas resident doctors had the lowest total CMDQ score (98.33). Low back, neck and back pain were the most common MSS problems. BDI was highest in nurses and 70.27% of the nurses were women. The total workplace ergonomics score was found to be 25.91%, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was highest in nurses (6.72).
CONCLUSIONS: While MSS pain is concentrated on the waist, neck and back regions in all healthcare workers. We concluded that the uncertainty associated with the pandemic, delay in preventive measures such as vaccination and medication, rapid and strong transmission of the disease and increasing number of deaths have led to an increase in stress, depression and burnout among healthcare workers.
